What is the ASU Food Cupboard? 🔹 Is there a food bank on campus? 🔹 Where can I get food if I can't afford groceries? 🔹 Does the school have a food service for students in need?

The ASU Food Cupboard is a free and confidential service that provides non-perishable food items to any student in need. It's run by the Acadia Students' Union (ASU) as an internal organization to help students who may be experiencing food insecurity. 

• Location: The Food Cupboard is located on the second floor of the Students' Union Building (The SUB). 

• How it works: You can access the Food Cupboard during its open hours. You just need to have a valid student ID—no questions asked and no financial proof is required. 

• Getting Involved: If you're interested in helping, the Food Cupboard is always looking for student volunteers and donations to keep its shelves stocked! 

To find out the current hours of operation and other details, you can visit the Internal Organizations page on the ASU website.
